Garris wrote the screenplay himself and adds one significant improvement over the original short: changing the date of the story from 2001 to 1969.

Had that window been opened just a bit more, Z Channel would be a remarkable film. As is, it's thoughtful and arresting.

The film's screenplay is thick with major lapses in logic, resulting in a story that ultimately makes little sense.

The film also benefits from unusually solid writing and a masterfully understated turn by Billy Bob Thornton.

Inspires plenty of head scratching and maybe a little irritation.

Filmmaker Ron Mann and actor/activist Woody Harrelson have followed up their hilarious 2000 documentary "Grass" with the equally amusing Go Further.

How can such difficult subjects as under-age sexual activity, brutal beatings and murders be presented in a way that doesn't alienate the audience, yet still capture the horror and circumstances in a believable manner? The solution? Assign Kai Pieck to the task.

The film's leisurely pacing is often too slow for its own good, and many scenes meander endlessly with no true payoff.

The movie sucks. It's beneath Argento to be making such drek after so long a career. He's better than this.

The men in this movie are little more than beer ad cliches going through Ford tough motions as though trapped in a bad country music video. There's not a realistic moment or character or performance in the picture.

Joyless, soulless.

The resulting product is so disjointed it's hard to tell if Russell dumbed down the film in the hope of garnering a larger audience, or if I Heart Huckabees simply isn't as smart as it likes to think it is.

Fascinating, horrifying and hilarious.

While I admire Bishop Jakes and I frequently watch his sermons on TV, I have to question his tactic of charging people admission to generate hosannas on his behalf.

Extremely funny, side splitting good time.

There isn't much here any semi-regular viewer of "The X-Files" hasn't already seen a dozen times before.

Subtle, funny and touching. It’s not like a blow-by-blow “Birth of a Hero” type of film. The script is near perfect and the acting is spot on.

Her skills and personality were more polished than most contemporary leaders, and if she were running for office today, unshackled by societal prejudice that existed in her era, she would be a force to be reckoned with.

If you liked "Magnolia," you'll also like Mind the Gap.

Easily the most surprising comedy of his career. The surprise: it's not funny.

Boasts some of the best filming seen in today’s so-called “dramatic documentaries,” but an unrefined script and frankly unbelievable ending keep it from becoming something better.

Haunting and chilling, yet biting black tragi-comedy.

While the antics of the group provide hilarity the documentary suffers only because there is large amounts of padding.

The results are either darkly comic and tragic, depending on the viewer's mindframe. But McElhinney's route to these results, as with the Bertolucci, is nothing short of stunning.

You aren't likely to see a film with more warmth and good humor anytime soon or one that does more to give feel good filmmaking a good name.

It’s an exhilarating experience, and raises the bar for the use of digital technology in film.

Slow paced, but interesting.

Ghastly.
